How much less of his own money Gov. Murphy has spent on current primary election campaign than on his 2017 run
The power of incumbency is well-acknowledged: It confers the bully pulpit, name recognition and better access to fundraising. It also can save candidates a boatload in personal moolah. Exhibit One in that regard is our own Gov. Phil Murphy. When the former Goldman Sachs executive first ran for governor in 2017, he lashed out $16.3 million of his personal wealth on that year’s primary election. Now running for reelection, his reduced outlay of personal funds this time around would put a smile on the face of any financial adviser: The governor and four family members so far have contributed a total of $24,500 toward his primary campaign fund, meaning a comparative savings of $16,275,000.
Here’s how much Murphy, Republicans have raised so far in N.J. governor’s race
Updated May 14, 2021;
A month before the state’s primary election, Gov. Phil Murphy has raised and spent more than any other candidate running for New Jersey governor this year even though he doesn’t have a challenger for the Democratic nomination.
Those totals make up more than half of the roughly $15 million raised and $12 million spent among all gubernatorial candidates from both major parties. Murphy has $951,000 on hand.
Former state Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli has raised $5.7 million and spent $4.4 million by far the most of any of the four contenders for the Republican nomination in the June 8 primary.

Good Thursday morning!
It just got harder for the Democrats who control Bergen and Hudson counties to hold onto their ICE contracts at local jails.
Essex County announced yesterday that now that it has an agreement with Union County to house its inmates, it’s going to end its contract with the federal immigration enforcement agency. The last ICE inmates will leave by the end of August.
